The WebKit application framework for the Mac now includes a JavaScript debugger, named Drosera. Drosera, named after the largest genera of bug eating plants, lets you attach and debug JavaScript for any WebKit application-not just the Safari browser, which is based on WebKit, as per the company.

"One of the unique things about Drosera is that over 90% of it is written in HTML and JavaScript. Similar approach was used in the WebKit's existing development application, named WebInspector. The development team stated this technique is a testament of what you can do with web technologies today and the rapid development that WebKit allows," says the company.

WebKit's nightly builds have JavaScript debugging enabled. WebKit users are now able to test the new application.
